Corey Knowles

Welcome, humans, to the Neuron Podcast.

I'm Corey Knowles, joined as always by my trusty co-host and good friend, Grant Harvey.

Today, we're joined by Mark Williams-Cook, who is a, frankly, a prolific influence in the direction of modern SEO.

He recently discussed how AI is creating what he calls a leaky bucket problem for search.

And today, we're going to learn more about that and a variety of other things.

Mark serves as director at Candor, a Norwich-based SEO agency, and he's also the founder of Also Asked and the co-owner of Top Dog Harnesses.

Mark, welcome to The Neuron.

It's great to have you.

Awesome.

So opening question here, and this is probably the trillion dollar question.

According to who you follow on social media, AI has either destroyed or resurrected SEO.

What are your thoughts?

Right.

Every core algo update trying.

You know those meetings that could have been an email but somehow always managed to turn into even more meetings?

Well, according to Atlassian, the average professional loses 31 hours a month to inefficient meetings.

That's part of 66 billion hours wasted every year in the U.S.

alone.

That's why I'm excited to tell you about Simbly AI, an AI productivity platform powered by agentic tech and trusted by more than a thousand companies today.

It fits right into your team's rhythm and just amplifies it.
